This is an experimental plugin that requires an equally experimental set of stocks. So here we go!

How it works:
On startup, it loads models from a file into an array. When things start being precached a split second later, my forwards hook the precache, check to see if the file being precached matches the ones we want to block, and if so, blocks them from being precached using SUPERCEDE.

Then, when ever an entity has a model set on it, this handy plugin checks to make sure it doesnt try to set the ent to a model we stopped from precaching.

End result: No precache of the model, and no crash.

Command:
amx_block_model <model>
Writes the model to custom vault file, and will block it next map change.

Requires: Cvault v1.17
Simply throw the cvault incude in along side your other includes and compile as normal. Cvault offers a wide variety of options, along with auto pruning and such. Use to your hearts content, just be sure to give credit to avalanche in your plugin, since he came up with the idea and the original code.

Note: Oops. Wrong custom vault file. Sorry ^^ Download this new one.

when i try to run it, i get this error in the console:

I did something similar for myself, and I'm assuming yours works the same way (with more customization). This will stop the models from precaching, but the server will crash if it tries to load them because there is no precache, so the uses are kind of limited. I've also tried removing the entity that uses the model as well, but I couldn't get it to work.

Mine works fine, I posted the wrong edition. THIS is what happens when you dont test properly hehe.
You have to block the set model sequence or it sets the model and the whole thing goes down, which is very bad. It works rather well; I use it for entmod on my TS server.

Aha, nifty. I never would've thought of that. Nice job.

Would this work to allow more plugins to run stripping enough entities out before cvrashing on the 512 error?

or would this not remove the entities fast enough?

[Twilight Suzuka]

This plugin has been superceeded, use my stripper2 plugin for this functionality.

I am actually looking forwartd to stripper 2 for the ability to make maps better for replay im highly interested in being able to change positions of hostages and bomb sites to say a random of 4 locations per map

But are you saying that stripper two would help me strip out other entites and i would avoid this error?

You are familiar with what im talking about?

[Twilight Suzuka]

stripper2, my version, will allow you to destroy precaches, thus allowing you to have more plugins that require them.
